PLPM - Private Located Package Manager

This is a tool with which you can create and install some packages locally.

Description

Do you have any experiences that you wanna test your library or install something temporary? On that time, you may have to put some libraries to the special directory such as "System32", "usr/lib". And you face to the problem - "Are they detachable?"
With this tool, you can create "package"(contains libraries) and share it only in your computer. The "package" shared can be installed whenever you want and it is easy to uninstall.

Usage

Create a package

When you wanna create a new package, you need to create a "PLPM Project File" first. It is easy to create.
The PLPM project file is a kind of JSON and it is formatted as following.

{
    "Name": "TestPackage",
    "Description": "Description...",
    "ContentsFiles": [
        "helloworld.txt",
        "subfolder/capra.dll"
    ]
}

⚠️ The child of "ContentsFiles" should be a RELATIVE path.
⚠️ "PLPM Project File" should be named as "plpmproj.json".

The PLPM project file works as a blueprint of a package.

Created one? Go to the next step!
Second, run a commmand in the directory plpmproj.json exists.

plpm create

This command ran successfully means PLPM created a package successfully! If you're worried about it, you can check the list of packages by following command.

plpm search

Install the package

Installing a package is easy. Move to where you wanna install package and type following command:

plpm install [package name]

Only this.
After running this command, you will see "plpm.json". It contains the list of packages installed there.

Uninstall the package

Uninstalling a package is easy too. Move to where you wanna install package and type following command:

plpm uninstall [package name]

Only this.
